Searing lava streamed down streets and hillsides, billowing into the sky with plumes of fire and smoke.

​​

A volcanic eruption is a huge disaster, destroying homes, cities and entire civilizations, engulfing everything it touches in flames with fiery lava.

​​

This is the volcanic eruption that most people imagine, and its appearance is accompanied by destruction. However, nature is balanced.

​​

Volcanoes are so violent and destructive, and because of this, they produce some of the richest and most lush ecosystems in the world.

​​

These ecosystems can not only survive, but thrive after these violent explosions from Earth.

​​

On the land of more than 100 square kilometers on Easter Island, there are three giant volcanic craters. The largest one, Ranoguo Crater, is about 1,600 meters in diameter, more than 200 meters deep, and more than 600 meters deep. drinking water source.

​​

But such a volcanic island is a complete grassland, and there are no trees higher than 3 meters on the island.

​​

This is also the "mysterious" origin of most of Easter Island.

​​

Because I have seen the construction of the pyramids, I know that erecting a megalithic figure requires a lot of wood to transport and hang the stone.

​​

But botanists have only found 47 kinds of herbs on the island, and the others are all shrubs. These trees and plants are obviously not suitable for transporting stone statues.

​​

That's why there's a lot of talk about "alien" and the like.

​​

"Of course, this is the most enthusiastic explanation for the marketing account." Bi Fang shrugged, an explorer like him has traveled south and north, and the so-called alien relics are simply nonsense.

​​

"The reason why there are no trees on Easter Island is entirely because of the dry swamp for fishing. This is the best example of a game between humans and the environment in evolution."

​​

"The only difference is that, in this case, the Aboriginal people on Easter Island—or, perhaps, humans—failed completely, not nearly, just completely."

​​

[Humans failed miserably?] [How did they fail, long-winded]

​​

[Blind guessing, it is excessive logging, which leads to environmental damage. After a certain level, it cannot be recovered, resulting in the mass extinction of the island's population]

​​

[I came back from crossing an hour later, and the prophet's knife was upstairs] "As for how to fail, don't be in a hurry, look over there."

​​

Bi Fang stopped and pointed into the distance. After walking for more than 20 minutes, he finally saw a small forest in his sight.

​​

Sure enough, these trees were short and fairly neat.

​​

But it doesn't matter, Bi Fang doesn't need to build a big boat, he only needs a single-person raft, and a three-meter-high tree is enough.

​​

Bi Fang took out a series of tools from his backpack and stacked them at his feet.

​​

There are saws, axes, and even planes, all of which are quite simple and perfect tools, all of which are produced systematically, and the quality is guaranteed.

​​

"I will use these tools before the official crossing to improve the quality of the raft or boat. After going out to sea, I will go into battle lightly."

​​

[Congratulations, Fangshen finally used tools.] [Transition from the Stone Age to the Iron Age] [Finished, Fangshen has used modern tools, Ye Qingjie]

​​

[Fast forward to knocking out a nuclear warhead with a hammer] [Small warhead, made by a master!]

​​

Easter Island is very big, but there are not many kinds of trees on the island. Most of them are palm trees, and they are very short. Only a few trees are larger, but they still feel a little worse.

​​

"Naturally, the lighter and tougher the wood used for shipbuilding, the better. It should have high hardness and corrosion resistance. Common fir and pine are good materials, but many times people have to learn how to adapt to local conditions."

"Many islands have quite a single species of trees. Most of them are like Easter Island. There are many palm trees. In fact, palm trees can also be used for boat building."

​​

"For example, in Thailand, many villages still retain the traditional craft of building canoes from palm trees."

​​

Bi Fang strolled around in the grove, trying to choose the right tree as much as possible. It doesn't have to be long, but it must be wide enough to accommodate at least the next person.

​​

He was going to build a canoe first.

​​

However, the palm tree that is more than three meters high is really not enough to see...

​​

Bi Fang strolled around, only to feel that these trees are so small and pitiful that a canoe can't, at most cut a piece, and cut a suitable part to make a raft.

​​

"Wait and see, and then look elsewhere."

​​

Helpless, Bi Fang could only give up and go to other places on Easter Island to see. "Hey, the current situation is the aftermath of the initial failure."

​​

Bi Fang resumed the previous topic. The audience also pricked up their ears.

​​

"Easter Island used to have trees, and it was a very lush forest."

​​

"According to the Langerang text of the Aboriginal people of Easter Island, the first inhabitants of Easter Island were a group of exiles from other islands in the Polynesian archipelago with chickens, taro, bananas and Sugarcane, led by seven men, found this island by chance after many days of sailing."

​​

"After landing on the island, I found out that this is a lush forested place with large tracts of tall palm trees, and there are many animals in the forest. There are three volcanoes on this island, but fortunately they are all extinct volcanoes."

​​

"This place, which is quite rich at first sight, attracted seven people. The only thing is that it is a pity that the temperature here is a bit low, so there are no coral reefs in the nearby sea. No coral reefs mean that there are no schools of fish nearby to settle here, and there are no fish. The group has no fish to eat."

​​

The residents of the Polynesian Islands are all sea people, and they do not have enough conditions to develop planting, so they can only rely on the sea to eat the sea.

​​

The lack of fish is quite a bit deadly, but it doesn't matter much, because there are other things to eat on Easter Island, and that is dolphins and seabirds.

​​

"Dolphins generally live in the deep sea. The depth here is not the depth, but the horizontal depth, which means that it is far away from the shore, in the inner sea, so places like Dolphin Bay are actually relatively rare."

​​

[Dolphin Bay was whipped again] [I heard that the person in charge had resigned last time] [What's the use of resigning?]

​​

[I guess, they must bow and apologize.]

​​

"Although dolphins are all in the deep sea, don't forget that these first residents of Easter Island were exiled from other islands 2,000 kilometers away. Navigation skills are good for them, and there are so many tall people on the island. Palm trees can be used to build large ships."

​​

"The ropes can be made from the fibers of a linden shrub on the island, and the fruits of the big palm trees here are still edible. Every year when they are ripe, the fruits cannot be eaten, so they are made into wine, and the pulp of the trees is still Sweet, you can eat it as syrup."

​​

"After the big boat was built, they went to catch dolphins, and the birds on the island were never seen before. So, when the Rapa Nui sharpened their knives and walked towards them, these silly birds turned out to be Curiously leaning forward."

​​

"Everything is predictable."
